· Ravishing Kay unleashes her inner woman on Zenith Bank
Too many wives of Nigeria’s bank chiefs give the impression that a life of vulgar luxury had rubbed them smooth. And that they are left with barely enough substance and gumption to complement their tiresome ego. But Kay Ovia is remarkably different.
The ravishing wife of Zenith Bank chairman, Jim Ovia, occupies a different class, far above her peers, in the nation’s social spectrum. Kay exudes a rare mixture of beauty, brains, common sense and a healthy entrepreneurial spirit. These traits probably run in the family but it takes uncommon resolve and distaste for indolence for a woman of her status to engage her creative faculties to the benefit of several human and material entities.
While too many of her peers while away the time and burn inestimable resources on wanton shopping sprees in the spirit of the Yuletide, Kay Ovia chooses a different and more impressive path. In the spirit of the Christmas and New Year celebrations, Kay recently applied herself to very useful purposes. For instance, it is to her credit that the Zenith Bank branch in Victoria Island, is exquisitely decorated. Kay deployed her imagination to creatively endow the banking edifice with breathtaking interior and exterior decor.
Her dexterous measures at improving the look of the building elicits interminable shrieks of appreciation from bank employees and customers even as you read. Although speculations abound that she did it for a fee, nobody is in doubt of Kay’s amazing decorative skills. As you read, other branches of the bank across Lagos are wishing that she obliged them similar creative treat no matter her asking price.
There is no gainsaying Kay is a very smart and enterprising woman. Rather than devise obscene means of extorting money from her husband, who is the chairman of the bank, she thought of ingenious ways to make money legitimately from him and his banking institution. This is definitely a remarkable first from the wife of a bank chief. Perhaps the wives of other bank chiefs would emulate Kay and improve their reputation and persona in the estimation of right thinking peers.
